* {{Flanderization}}: A bit more of a JerkAss than in the movies, but he still has his moments (such as saving [[spoiler:Skipper]]'s life in one episode). His dialect is also noticeably stronger (though that could be chalked up to Creator/DannyJacobs [[TheOtherDarrin replacing]] Creator/SachaBaronCohen).

* {{Flanderization}}: In the first movie, the royal feet get merely a passing reference when Julien misinterprets Mort cowering in fear next to him. Here, Mort has a full blown fetish for Julien's feet.

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: In "Misfortune Cookie", Julien has him run over Rico ''1000'' times in order to lift Rico´s "curse". The reason being that the zoo only has one rhino, and thus needed Roy to repeat the process 1000 times.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He first appeared in the video game adaptation of the first ''Madagascar'' film, before being properly introduced in the series. In the series itself, we first see his stampeding legs crushing Rico before he makes his full proper debut in "Skorca".

Mort is only disliked by King Julien, so he doesn't count as The Friend Nobody Likes.


* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: Mort is generally liked by the rest of the zoo animals, but he basically seems to be this to Julien. While Julien is annoyed by Mort's obsession with his feet, he is actually miserable when Mort isn't available for him to kick, regarding the opportunity to reject Mort as a symbol of his power. When Mort was accidentally shipped off with various Mort dolls, Julien explicitly stated that he missed "having that annoying Mort around so that [he could] hate him!"

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Most of the time, Marlene is friendly and doesn't engage in physical violence. However, at the end of "Crow Fools", she has Rico spit out a crowbar for her, which she uses to chase Julien with when he reveals he had a spare crown the whole time. Not only was she mad he kept his spare a secret, but his actions also led to Skipper getting hurt while trying to retrieve the original crown.

Added DiffLines:

*LiteralSplitPersonality: "Littlefoot" saw Kowalski's attempt to cure Marlene of her feral transformation result in her feral side manifesting as a completely separate physical entity, while the 'original' Marlene was reduced to a more timid persona who kept freaking out about every possible danger. [[spoiler:The two personas were eventually recombined, which gave Marlene control over her savage side so that she wouldn't lose control while outside the zoo any more]].


Added DiffLines:

*LampshadeHanging: "The Most Dangerous Game Night" had Marlene explicitly note that it's been ages since anyone heard Ted say anything, a fact that is reinforced by Burt when he interrupts Ted's attempt to speak in confirmation.

Although they only had around [[OneSceneWonder around 10 minutes of screentime]] in the first movie, the penguins have proven to be {{Ensemble Dark Horse}}s to the point that their part in the movies escalated and then they received their own show, ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'' and a solo movie that (debatably) tied the Madagascar canon to the series canon.
